Poetry, ancient prose and allusions related to eggs, the custom of eating eggs, etc. Thank you.

"I ate eggs in the long summer, and it's not summer when it's hot."

According to legend, a long time ago, Nu Wa Niangniang won the battle to spread this plague and plague for the children in the lower world. The god of plague guaranteed that all the descendants of Nu Wa Niangniang would not be harmed. Nu Wa sent a message to the people: On the second summer day, Xiao Ya hung cooked chicken, duck and goose eggs on his chest to avoid the plague in summer.

Eating eggs in long summer is also called long summer eggs.

Every household has to cook a pot of eggs. The skilled mother weaves a silk bag with colored thread, puts the dyed eggs in it and hangs them on the child's chest. It is said that the plague can be eliminated. Duck eggs and goose eggs are also used in some areas.

Because of this, Chang Xia met the children who were groping around with eggs hanging on their chests. Because of the homonym of "egg", "bag" and "generation", this move also pinned the hope of parents to continue their children and grandchildren-children and grandchildren will live a long and healthy life and be passed down from generation to generation.

In the history of our country, people eat eggs on many festivals. As far as I know, I want to eat eggs in long summer, and I want to eat eggs in Qingming. The most representative one is the Dragon Boat Festival. In people's traditional ideas, eggs represent perfection, celebration, avoiding evil spirits, reproduction and, more importantly, health. Before the Dragon Boat Festival, I found some strange customs of eating eggs in various places to share with you.

When I'm visiting the north, I must boil eggs in the pot that cooks jiaozi during the Dragon Boat Festival, and duck eggs or goose eggs if possible. After eating glutinous rice balls dipped in sugar, you should eat eggs dipped in salt. It is said that eating boiled eggs in zongzi pot in summer is not easy to get sores; And at noon, put the duck eggs and goose eggs cooked in the zongzi pot in the sun for a while before eating, so that you won't have a headache all summer.

There is a saying in the southeast of China that eggs can stand upside down on the table only at noon on the Dragon Boat Festival. The first person to stand on the egg that day will get good luck for a year. In Taiwan Province Province, there is an egg competition every year during the Dragon Boat Festival. Many people will take part in the competition for good luck.

In Britain, whenever there is a holiday feast, people like to break eggs and throw them into clear water to predict whether life will be happy in the future. Then add sugar and steam it, meaning a happy and harmonious life;

In Yugoslavia, young people regard eggs as sacred and pure love. On the first Monday of Easter, young people get together, dance and fall in love. If a man doesn't send eggs from eat woman, it means that he doesn't love each other, or that his love is broken.

In Turkey, eggs are a symbol of fertility. If a girl makes up her mind not to fall in love or get married, she will never eat eggs. The girl who eats eggs says she wants to get married and become a mother.

In Chaozhou, China, eggs have many symbolic meanings. People often give eggs as traditional gifts to relatives and friends, usually four to eight, if twelve are gifts; If relatives and friends recover from long-term illness, they must give eleven eggs, which means that only this time, the recipients must accept them all and draw a lottery; When children reach school age, they will enter school, which is the so-called "open book". In addition to other ceremonies, there are two eggs, boiled and dyed red, which are given to children to express their wishes for them; When a daughter is pregnant for several months, her mother asks someone to write an egg for her to eat. Next month, her mother will send another egg called "Sheng", which means "urging her to be born safely".
